A refreshing and flavorful Mediterranean-inspired salad featuring white beans, fresh herbs, and a zesty dressing.
Combine the cooked white beans, halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, sliced red onion, and chopped fresh parsley and basil in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the vegetables are evenly chopped for a consistent texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all the ingredients.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the beans.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor and makes the salad more refreshing.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.
Serve with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
